The Harrison County Thorobreds never trailed as they defeated the Robertson County Black Devils 60 to 46 in Friday’s championship game of the 38th District.
The game, played at Pendleton County before a good crowd, was the only meeting this year between the two schools.
Harrison County’s physical edge was something that the Robertson County team could not overcome. The Thorobreds took advantage of their size to dominate the boards for the night grabbing more rebounds in each quarter than their smaller opponent.

BThe Harrison County Fillies laid it all on the line Thursday night but came up a little short. The Fillies lost a double overtime thriller to the Nicholas County Lady Jackets in the finals of the 38th District basketball tournament.
Harrison County played the game from the start without starting forward Taylor Reffett, who was out with concussion-like symptoms, and then lost shooting guard Chelsea Ingram with two seconds gone in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.
The medical report is not meant to take away from the game that was played.

Before I get into my article I want to apologize to Grant Carr and his family for omitting Grant in my article about the Collins game where I listed the seniors that started the game. It should have read the five seniors that started Dillon Pulliam, Mason Ritchie, Landon Palmer, Grant Carr and long-time manager Russell Crosthwaite.
Sometimes I can blame my mistakes on the people working at the paper, but this time I’m afraid it was all me.
